Antioxidants are man-made or natural substances that may prevent or delay some types of cell damage caused by free-radicals, the waste product created in the cells when the body turns food into energy. Antioxidants are sometimes called free-radical scavengers because they hunt down free-radicals and destroy them before they can cause significant cell damage within the body. Natural antioxidants are found in many foods, including fruits and vegetables, and are also available as dietary supplements. Some examples of antioxidants include Beta-carotene, Lutein, Lycopene, Selenium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E.
